My Life In Music

Decca Classics is proud to have re signed legendary pianist Ruth Slenczynska who this January celebrated her 97th birthday. Having recorded for the Decca Gold Label in the 1950s and 60s, Ruth is thrilled to return to the label nearly 60 years later to release a brand new solo piano album, recorded in 2021, entitled My Life in Music. The album celebrates her remarkable life and performing career which began as a child prodigy in the 1920s and continues nine decades later.
